18 Mr. Butler's Descriptions of 



I have given a brief description of this species at page 11 

 of my forthcoming Catalogue of Fabrician Rliopalocera ; it 

 has hitherto stood in collections under the name of T. Chelys 

 of Fabricius ; P. Chehjs, however, proves to be a species of 

 Gnoplwdes.

 the whitish discal area ; three white-pupilled submarginal

Inhabits — ? Coll. Kadeu. in Coll. Druce. 



This delicately-tinted Taygetis is allied to the preceding 

 species, its frontwings are formed somewhat as in T. Mer- 

 ineria, but the costa has a more sudden upward curve at 

 the apex than in that species.
